GOA KONKAN
Konkan, also known as the Konkan Coast, is a rugged section of the western coastline of India. In Marathi it is called as kōkan (कोकण), in Konkani as kōñkan (कोंकण), and the Kannada word karāvalli (ಕರಾವಳಿ/करावळी), literally meaning 'coast', is generally applied to the Kanara subregion.
Geographically, the stretch of land from the Daman Ganga River in the north to the Gangavalli River in the south is considered to form the Konkan.[1]
The ancient Sapta Konkan was a larger geographical area that extended from Gujarat to Kerala. Currently, the Konkan covers the seaside towns from Palghar district in the north to Karwar in the south.[2] The whole of coastal Karnataka is sometimes included within the Konkan.
However, this segment overlaps the Konkan and Malabar coast continuum; and usually corresponds to the southernmost and northernmost stretches of these locales respectively.
